A few more images of my new Europa. I'm driving her presently but will be doing a restoration next year. What a fun car to drive!

What is there to restore?  Keep it a driver and enjoy it!

I gotta agree with JB ,
   Unless the frame is rotten I would be selective in restoring parts at a time.
Driving any car pinpoints a lot of problems.

She looks good to me, too! I work on mine a lot and have wondered if I like working on it more than driving it. The answer is simple - driving it!

  Fine looking Europa!

My favorite view of the Europa is sitting inside it with the road moving ahead.  It is like sitting inside a Time Machine and taking a distant vacation from 2018. Enjoy!!

Wesley,
I can relate. I'm driving the Europa every day and always come back with a smile. We are lucky folks and most of the world doesn't realize what they're missing.

[literarymadness]

You got that right!!!

1970europaguy,

Somehow I missed that you had a website. It's really nice! Keep up the great work!

Nice looking car from a fanatic on the other side of the ferry.  Did you find the car locally in BC?

[1970EuropaGuy]

Thanks Guys,

The web site is a fun project. I'm working on many restoration articles at present. The site is modeled after my MGB GT web site at MGB1967.com

Amazingly I found the car on Vancouver Island. I was looking along the west coast and even had a car inspected in Los Angeles. This particular Europa appears to have been in Oregon in her early life. I've managed to piece together a good chunk of history, will write it up soon.

There are now 3 Europa S2's on the island as this car https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-lotus-europa/ was just brought to Victoria.

There are quite a few kicking around on the island I almost bought a baby blue one on the island but the wife said no...  I guess 2 is enough.

That’s a nice website, congratulations! I went to see that Europa in Bremerton when it was for sale. It was a real nice example. There was another next to it but it was very heavily modified. For a start it had a targa top.

Good luck.

Hi everyone,
My first post: I bought that Bremerton, Wash. S2 you are referring to. Rather that highjack this thread, I'll start a new one describing my first two months of Europa ownership.
Cheers, John
